I had this set up working about 6 years ago and have forgotten how I did it. then I got a newer faster router and it all went bye bye! :shock: The printer is an MFC-J450DW Brother the WiFi is ON, it's connected to my PC via USB. The gateway is a new Comcast that has no identifying name on it, just a...

Thanks to all.

Yep that's it, the example shows a line that says 'drift' I don't have that line, nor does it tell me how often, every 5 minutes or 10, or 20 does it connect and correct itselg?

"ES" thanks

I have both NTP and NTPDATE installed but I don't know how to tell the frequency of the time corrections. Is there any way to adjust how often the update occurs?

Thanks,

ES

I have noticed recently that my login sound doesn't play. I can see the sound residing in /usr/share/sounds Oddly enough it's has a .wav extension, but if I look at PREFERENCES | SOUND | SOUND EFFECTS it has a an 'oga' extension not "ogg" The sound will play if I click on it but the login and logout...

Hiay Scott! Hope all is well w/ you! Yep that got it and its fine now,,, I can't wait until I put it to sleep and wake it up to find the sound is missing! LOL I've gotten really good at typing the secret code to make it work, and even that doesn't always produce the result I am after! Take care than...

In desperation trying to get sound after a sleep session/ standby I now have sound but I get no icon that shows the volume. when I type "alsamixer" I see it there but it's not doing anything :oops: Maybe this will help someone... fred@Area52 ~ $ sudo apt-get remove --purge alsa-base pulseaudio [sudo...

There used to be a jpg background in xplayer/mediaplayer but it's gone now and I get a black screen when I play a file of any kind. I do have the jpg that used to load with the player, how the two go separated I don't know. I have tried to reinstall xplayer: sudo apt install xplayer --reinstall How ...

Merry Christmas to you and yours as well! Open Software Sources and probably on the PPA tab, click on the check mark for the ffmpeg repo to deactivate it. Then open the Update Manager and click on Refresh and you should be good. Sometime next week, reactivate the repo and the site will probably be ...

You could also change the mirrors you are using in Software Sources.

Hi Larry,,
Seems that all the ones I find are not authenticated or dead I know this happens at times but usually self corrects, this time no joy, Still have the X

Thanks a lot,

Try this:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

pjotr thanks. I ran that and got a whole page of stuff in the terminal but the X remains.

Lately I plagued with the dreaded red "X" in update manager.

Other than hoping it will correct itself what can I do to rid myself of it?

thanks!

PS: oh i see you probably have xdm autostart at powerup , so why don't you turn it off? /quote] If it was set to auto start it was done by default, I am happy to disable it and toggle it on when I want it. I thought by unticking the Browser Monitor it would stop the message box from appearing but i...

I've been using the XDM file down loader and it's working fine, all except for the annoying message in the lower right of my browser that says DOWNLOAD VIDEO! I have tried to disable the XDM Browser Monitor to no avail, as soon as there's a video on any page, the message pops back up and won't go aw...

Thanks everyone,,, I'll abandon the idea boot to W7 and use Nero to burn my disc, All good info I wasn't thinking of the size issue.. and we all know size matters! :lol: :lol: Scott I don't blame you but I have no mp3 player and the CD player in the car will play mp3s so I can load over 200 on a CDR...

Decided to try and burn an audio CD today ( yeah I know OLD tech) but I can play it in my car. K3B keeps telling me that I can't burn a disc with the files as mp3, OK fine so I convert them to a huge .wav file. Guess what? I drag that 1GB file into a new project and I get a message saying the file h...

Great stuff thank you! I thought it was a bit odd to not have a way to simply remove titles

Hello, Been using XDM for the past few days and it seems OK. But I don't see a way to remove the titles of the video files, without deleting the file along with the name! Sure I can go into /downloads and MOVE the files elsewhere and then use "Delete Downloads" option in XDM, but that seems a bit po...

HI MrEen,
I got it installed and rebooted and I had sound! Now we can see if over time that continues, it all went without a hitch... that scares me LOL

I see you are online now so have a nice rest of your day and I'll keep you informed! Many thanks!
